Egis Klimas states Fury has dodged Usyk approximately five times, according to his recollection.

In addressing the controversy surrounding Tyson Fury’s injury and the subsequent postponement of his fight against Oleksandr Usyk, it’s crucial to state my skepticism about the notion that Fury deliberately cut himself to evade the planned bout on Feb 17.

While many are quick to cast doubt on the authenticity of Fury’s injury, Usyk’s manager, Egis Klimas, remains steadfast in his belief that Fury orchestrated the incident. Klimas, in an interview with Joe Santoliquito from RING, asserted that Fury has a history of avoiding Usyk and emphasized that this is the fifth time such an avoidance has occurred. Fury, in an attempt to dispel rumors, shared a photo showcasing a seemingly toned physique.

Even after hours of Klimas expressing his suspicions, he remains unwavering, stating during a plane journey to Spain to visit Usyk in camp that Fury has been avoiding Usyk for an extended period. He attributes Fury’s motivation to doubters who initially didn’t believe Usyk could beat Anthony Joshua and now doubt his chances against Fury. Klimas concludes with a peculiar reference to a frying pan, insisting on its relevance.

Despite the general disbelief in the idea that someone would go to extreme lengths to stage such a scene, the author shares a personal anecdote from 1990. In a college setting, faced with an unpreparedness for an exam, the author describes a scheme involving self-inflicted punches above the eye to feign injury. The professor, sympathetic to the fabricated assault, allows the author to make up the exam.

The underlying point conveyed is that individuals can devise creative ways to avoid undesirable situations. While the author doesn’t outright accuse Fury, they acknowledge the possibility of unconventional tactics in avoiding challenges. The need for evidence before drawing conclusions is emphasized throughout, maintaining a skeptical yet open-minded stance on the situation.
